Vietnamese lychees sold out rapidly in Costco supermarkets in Perth, Western Australia, thanks to a successful market demand creation plan by the Vietnamese Trade Office in Australia and importer 4waysfresh. Despite an early end to the lychee season in Vietnam, collaboration with various importers and online distributors has driven strong sales in major Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne. Consequently, Vietnam's agricultural and fruit exports to Australia saw a 33.3% increase in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year.
